Reducing eye strain

Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not

reflect on the monitor screen or shine directly

into your eyes.

Position the computer desk and screen so

you can avoid glare on your screen and

light shining directly into your eyes.

Reduce glare by installing shades or

curtains on windows, and by installing a

glare screen filter.

Use soft, indirect lighting in your work

area. Do not use your computer in a dark

room.

Set paper holders at the same height and

distance as the monitor.

Avoid focusing your eyes on your

computer screen for long periods of time.

Every 10 or 15 minutes, look around the

room, and try to focus on distant objects.

Setting up your computer desk and chair

When you are setting up your computer desk

and chair, make sure that the desk is the

appropriate height and the chair helps you

maintain good posture.
